They use the style sheet.

A page with, say, <link rel="icon stylesheet" href=...> will use ... as 
a stylesheet and a favicon. I don't guarantee that every browser will do 
this for every combination of rel types, because this is an area where 
bugs are common and testing defficient. But for 'stylesheet' it is pretty 
widely implemented correctly, I believe.
